Shia LaBeouf Relaunches 4-Year-Long Anti-Trump Live Stream In New Mexico

The actor and performance artist Shia LaBeouf is bringing his four-year-long live stream, dubbled HeWillNotDivide.Us, from New York City to New Mexico. The performance art project, launched by LaBeouf alongside collaborators Nastja Säde Rönkkö and Luke Turner on Inauguration Day in response to the election of President Donald Trump, was formerly hosted by New York’s Museum Of The Moving Image. However, following LaBeouf’s arrest after a dispute with a visitor in January, the museum called the project “a serious and ongoing public safety hazard” and shuttered the endeavor on Feb. 10.

“As of February 18, 2017,” reads a statement from LaBeouf, Rönkkö, and Turner, “we are proud to be continuing HeWillNotDivide.Us at the El Rey Theater, Albuquerque.”

The performance art project consists of a camera and microphone affixed to a wall of the El Rey Theater, reports the Albuquerque Journal, with the words ‘He will not divide us’ written overhead. (The ‘he’ refers to Trump). Passersby are invited to visit the installment over the next four years and chant the phrase as many times as they wish. The stream airs live on HeWillNotDivide.Us. (The camera was initially installed outside of the Museum Of The Moving Image.)

“From the outset,” reads the new statement from LaBeouf, Rönkkö, and Turner, “the museum failed to address our concerns about the misleading framing of our piece as a political rally, rather than as a participatory performance artwork resisting the normalization of division…Their evident lack of commitment to the project is damning.”
